Chapter 41 Dugu Bo at Level 89: Where Did This Holy Son Come From? Yue Guan Has Also Broken Through the Titled Douluo Barrier?!
"It seems His Highness's intuition was correct; this place does indeed have some interesting aspects."
Yue Guan turned around and explained to Bibi Dong and Lan Yue:
"There is a natural poisonous miasma in the heart of this Sunset Forest that never dissipates."
"But this poison array in front of us has obviously been artificially strengthened."
"Dugu Bo used his own Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison as a catalyst, combined with the natural poisonous miasma of this place, to set up this great formation."
"Let alone humans, even ordinary ten-thousand-year soul beasts, if they accidentally wander in,
they will probably turn into a puddle of pus in no time, leaving not even a trace of bone."
Hearing this, Lan Yue nodded inwardly.
It seems that Dugu Bo has already made this place his lair, and this poison array is to protect the Ying Yang Ice And Fire Eyes from being discovered by outsiders.
However, this is clearly not an insurmountable obstacle for them, who have two Titled Douluos.
"Since it was set up by that old poisoner, there must be something special inside."
The ghostly voice remained hoarse and low, revealing no emotional fluctuations.
He glanced at the billowing poisonous fog and said calmly:
"This poison is potent, but it is ineffective against physical attacks, and it has no effect on my ghostly body."
"Old Ghost, I'll go in first and investigate to see what treasures that old poisoner has hidden inside."
Without waiting for a response, Gui Mei's figure instantly became ethereal.
His entire being seemed to melt away, transforming into a cloud of pitch-black ghostly mist, silently disappearing into the emerald green poisonous barrier.
The potent poison, capable of corroding everything, seemed to encounter its nemesis upon contact with the black mist formed from Gui Mei, retreating to both sides and utterly unable to cause it any harm.
In the blink of an eye, Gui Mei's figure disappeared into the depths of the thick poisonous fog.
"Old Ghost is still so impatient."
Yue Guan shook his head helplessly, then turned to look at Bibi Dong and Lan Yue, a confident smile appearing on his face:
"Your Highnesses, please calm down."
"With Old Ghost going in to scout ahead, even if Dugu Bo is inside, he won't be able to cause any trouble."
"We can simply wait here for good news."
Lan Yue nodded, but her eyes remained fixed on the poisonous fog, and anticipation began to rise in her heart.
The Immortal Herb was right before her eyes.
Soaring to new heights was just around the corner!
Time passed second by second, and the emerald green poisonous barrier continued to churn, obscuring the view inside.
After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the poisonous fog suddenly began to fluctuate violently.
"Whoosh—"
A dark figure rushed out first; it was Gui Mei returning.
His figure froze, transforming back into human form, still dressed in the black robe and mask, but he seemed to be carrying something in his hand...
No, it was a person.
Following closely behind, a thin old man wearing a dark green robe was also "brought out."
The old man had green hair and beard, and his eyes were as deep as emeralds, exuding a cold aura.
But at this moment, this "old poisoner" who was usually feared looked rather disheveled.
His clothes were disheveled, and his face was pale with shock, clearly indicating that he had been badly frightened.
This person was none other than Dugu Bo.
He had been comfortably by the hot spring at the Ying Yang Ice And Fire Eyes.
He used the extreme cold and heat of that place to suppress the increasingly restless venom of the Jade Phosphor Serpent within his body.
Unexpectedly, just as he was channeling his energy at a critical moment, a ghostly black shadow appeared behind him without warning.
That extremely cold and sinister aura almost drove him to madness.
Before he could react, he was lifted out like a chick.
"Cough cough..."
After landing, Dugu Bo staggered a few steps before regaining his balance. Just as he was about to lash out, he looked up and froze instantly.
Not far ahead, besides the black-robed monster who had dragged him out, stood a figure that was extremely familiar to him.
That gleaming silver armor, that signature delicate pinky finger gesture, and that face even more alluring than a woman's...
"Yue Guan... Yue Guan?!"
Dugu Bo's eyes widened, and he exclaimed in shock.
Upon hearing this, Yue Guan frowned, and the Chrysanthemum in his hand suddenly shone brightly, with nine soul rings slowly rising from beneath his feet.
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black!
Especially the last, jet-black ninth spirit ring, which exuded a terrifying, suffocating pressure that instantly enveloped the entire area.
"Old poisoner, watch your words."
Yue Guan snorted coldly, his aura as a Titled Douluo pressing down on Dugu Bo without reservation:
"I am now a Titled Douluo, with the title 'Chrysanthemum'."
"If you dare to address me so carelessly again, don't blame me for showing no mercy and letting you taste the power of this ninth soul skill!"
"A... a Titled Douluo?!"
Dugu Bo felt an immense pressure, like a mountain, rushing towards him, making it difficult to breathe.
He stared intently at the nine soul rings on Yue Guan's body, his eyes filled with disbelief, shock, and bitterness.
It's only been a short time since they last met.
Although there was a difference between the two at the beginning, they were still evenly matched.
He had been stuck at level 89 for many years and had not made any progress, suffering greatly from the backlash of the toxins.
And this arch-rival had actually crossed that insurmountable barrier and achieved the title of Titled Douluo!
A single step can make all the difference!
Dugu Bo felt a mix of emotions, including envy, jealousy, and a deep sense of powerlessness.
Facing two Titled Douluos, even on his home turf of the poison array, he had absolutely no chance of winning.
"Hmph, you win!"
Dugu Bo gritted his teeth. Although he was unwilling, he had no choice but to temporarily bow his head because of the circumstances.
He suppressed the hostility in his eyes, glanced at the two young people behind Yue Guan and Gui Mei, and asked with some doubt:
"Now that you've become a Titled Douluo, why aren't you staying in Spirit Hall enjoying your wealth and glory? What are you doing here in my poor, remote place?"
"And you brought two... dolls?"
Yue Guan withdrew his Spirit's oppressive aura, stepped aside, and respectfully introduced them to Dugu Bo:
"Old poisoner, open your eyes and see clearly."
"This lady is Bibi Dong, the current Holy Maiden of Spirit Hall."
Bibi Dong nodded slightly, her expression calm and noble. Although she was still young, she already showed the air of someone in a superior position.
Dugu Bo was startled. The Holy Maiden of Spirit Hall?
That's the future Pope!
Before he could even process the news, Gui Mei's ghostly voice rang out, pointing to Lan Yue on the other side and saying:
"And this is none other than His Highness Lan Yue, the Holy Son of Spirit Hall."
"The Holy Son?!"
Dugu Bo was completely dumbfounded.
When did a Holy Son suddenly appear in Spirit Hall?
Moreover, judging from the boy's age, he was a few years younger than the Holy Maiden, and he didn't have any strong soul power fluctuations.
How could someone become the Holy Son?
However, seeing the respectful attitude of the two Titled Douluos toward these two young people, Dugu Bo dared not be negligent.
He took a deep breath, and although he was a hundred times unwilling, he still had to bow slightly and pay his respects to Bibi Dong and Lan Yue:
"Dugu Bo greets Her Highness the Holy Maiden, and greets... His Highness the Holy Son."
When you're under someone else's roof, you have to bow your head.
Lan Yue looked at the unruly yet forced-to-bow future Poison Douluo before her and chuckled inwardly.
That old poisoner had not even become a Titled Douluo yet, so he really couldn't muster any backbone.
However, this was also a good opportunity to win him over!
Lan Yue stepped forward, a harmless smile on her face, and said to Dugu Bo:
"Senior Dugu, there's no need for such formalities."
"Actually, we came here mainly for two things."
"First, I would like to borrow your valuable space for a while."
"Secondly..."
Lan Yue paused, looked directly into Dugu Bo's bright green eyes, and said meaningfully:
"I want to help Senior solve a long-standing, major problem."
